4. In the old days, insurgents attacked the occupiers.

How times have changed (and the places, too.) Now the vast majority of the dead and injured at the hands of the resistance are their fellow Iraqi civilians. (Surviving members of the French resistance must be wondering if they could have been more effective in resisting the Germans if they had spent more time attacking French civilians than the German occupiers.)

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers killed 61 people and wounded 150 when they blew themselves up at a crowded market in
Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim town of Hilla on Thursday, police said.

The blasts, along with bomb and mortar attacks in Baghdad that killed 11 people, underscored the challenges for the government of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who has pledged a U.S.-backed crackdown in the lawless capital.

Police said the bodies of 30 people were found dumped in Baghdad, where sectarian violence has been mounting.

New figures showed civilian deaths rose to a record level in January.

"Most of the wounded are in critical condition and it's possible that many of them will die," the doctor said. "We have a shortage of bandages and some of the wounds are being cleaned with Kleenex."
